Write a Letter to the Editor

Whether online or in old-fashioned print, the editorial page is one of the most popular sections of a newspaper.

When you get a letter to the editor (LTE) published in your local newspaper, you let residents, business leaders and your members of Congress know what’s on your mind. Congressional offices closely monitor LTEs to stay aware of constituents’ concerns.

Your letter can even generate additional press about the topic you write about, so let local papers know you want action on climate change—and why. Browse some of our favorite published LTEs.
